the mouseover tile expansion is way too big. if I like to hover my mouse over the thing I'm looking at as I scan the display, the expansion is so big that I can't see the next item to the right making the list painfully un-scannable for a certain UX.

The screenshots are very confusing to me... it appears to be a Windows (95?) application, with variable width fonts, graphs, mouse support [0], but then certain elements, like the menu [1], look like a class DOS apps, with fixed width fonts and ANSI line drawing characters. Some screens, like data tables [2], look like they're completely DOS-based, while others have a weird combination of DOS and Windows elements [3] [4] [5].

Quite strange! I suppose perhaps it started life as a DOS application and then moved to Windows, with old pages keeping the same fonts/layouts to save time. Makes for an odd look...

> There are some programs I use two or three times a year that I purchase because it is useful enough for that one task, but there are others that I use infrequently enough to try to seek out other options.

Flip that. I find most people do the second thing first. If what I'm doing in the software takes 5 minutes, chances are I can find something else out there that will do the same thing for free as well. Sometimes the same software lets you trial it again because it's been so long. And so all the additional features you'd review them for amount to nothing when I'm just using them to remove the background in my picture.

But here is the bigger issue.

> it’s a good way for me to evaluate if it makes sense for me to buy a license or not

It's a horrible way for me to evaluate licensing. Why? Because, I probably want to get on with whatever task should only take 5 minutes and do something else. I don't want to spend time evaluating licensing and determine the cost benefits analysis of this software purchase (which more and more tends toward a monthly/yearly fee).

I want to do the 5 minute thing and move on, and I will spend more time searching for another free solution than pay.

You want to get me to pay you? Make that 5 minutes showcase the things I did't know I needed.

And yes, if you have the only thing that can do the thing I'm looking to do, sure. But, a monopoly isn't exactly what we are talking about here.

Any git client for your mobile would also let you view your notes. Maybe even edit, depending on the git client.

I remember seeing a quote for 500/500 metro E from Comcast several years ago. $12k to install, $1.2k/mo. And that only involved laying a few miles of fiber, no redundancy. Dedicated lines are no joke. If you're AWS or GCP, you can be your own ISP and mitigate this to some extent, but that's just the physical connection they save on.

You can always save by going on-prem, assuming you have no uptime requirements. But the moment you sign an SLA, those savings go out the window.
I've got a compiler for a hobby language that uses this technique too (I probably got it from you, unless I heard it from someone else). It's really really nice. Super easy to implement and really does cut down on cascaded errors.

I also use it during type checking. There is a special "error" type. If an expression produces a type error, the yielded type of that expression becomes "error". Surrounding expressions that consume that type will see the error type and suppress any other type errors they might otherwise produce. That way, you only see the original type error.
Sure, the story places you from the start with the assumption that there was someone who has been split in the first place.

But why does the topic have to be about any more than that? The question is not "is there a Dennet?", but "what locates a person?". What's there about it that prevents reasoned discussion?

When I try to rely on my common sense, I fall into ruts already described in the story, which Dennet the author clearly shows aren't worth much. Seems my common sense deserves some debasing.

I have been smoking UNC (an off brand of it) for about 9 months, then I transitioned to the no nicotine version for 3 months. It's like I'm addicted to whatever is inside the disposable vaporizer besides the nicotine. It definitely has made my throat burn at month 6 and it's been on going. It definitely gave me tremors and friends and family have told me I have like this shaking, that's why I transitioned to the no nicotine, but it's no use. I also have a pins and needles feeling on my hands and feet at times. I don't know if it's interacting with my meds or not but I think it's because solely of the vaporizer. I tend to vape almost all day. I use cough drops to ease the throat pain. It's definitely not good for you but they say its the formaldehyde (in the anti-vape commercials) but I think it's something not even known yet.
This feels a lot like Google Docs's commenting system, and seems to have the same issue in that it requires a lot of clicks to open each side thread one at a time. It's hard to "finish" digesting a series of replies at once.

I think I'd prefer Discourse's current linear format, where all new replies are stacked at the bottom (but ideally with a quoted snippet for context). It makes catching up on updates easier, since you just keep scrolling and reading like any other document.

IMO it often isn't super useful to go through each individual comment piecemeal unless you're working on a document together (ie tracking changes and commenting on them). Otherwise, being able to read through several comments at once and THEN replying to the whole of them in a summary can save everyone time.

It's the infinite back and forth on every minor point that makes long form discussion impossible to track. That's the sort of thing that probably IS better dealt with in real time, over Slack or a call, and then summarized briefly back in the main convo. You don't need to have every sentence recorded in the main convo, just something like "Re: point 4, after talking it through with Joe and Jane, we all agreed it would be best to use blah blah".
Are there companies that are making better electric cars than Tesla?

I'm genuinely curious. The vast majority of electrics I see in my city are Teslas with a small sprinkling of Hyundais and Mustang Mach-Es thrown in. I don't see a lot of compelling reasons at this time to choose anything other than a Tesla Model 3 if I were to switch to an EV. Is there something I'm missing here?

I don't think Tesla has any fears about the current batch of competition from other EVs. This hubris may prove to be a mistake down the road, only time will tell.

The American government spends something approaching a trillion dollars annually on Medicaid, "a government program that provides health insurance for adults and children with limited income and resources."[1]

"The federal government" does not do these things in a vacuum - they are influenced by voters. Re-aligning incentives can be a pretty intense activity (it is also a euphemism used by intelligence agencies).

From a very high level view, "the federal government" is concerned about type 2 errors - not having enough information to prevent 'bad things' from happening.

If enough people become concerned enough about the type 1 errors that come from this overreach, then political pressure will be exerted to re-align incentives.

Don't get me started on dark patterns! I think the fact that we create them should be something we discuss.

But I think we need to up our game in this cat and mouse game a bit. For example, in aggregators -- like Expedia or Google Flights, etc -- why not try to capture some of these fees in the price? I can search for hotels with parking but what about sorting hotels by price and including the parking price? It's hard to compare when I see a $120 hotel that has a $50 valet vs a $150 hotel that includes parking. But that's the thing I'm actually after a lot of times. Or similar with flights and baggage fees. We should be able to collect a lot of this type of information and properly present it to the users and try to make these types of dark patterns ineffective (still will be cat and mouse and this is only a specific type of pattern, but still, I think there are things we can do)

> just doesn't have the same subjectivity and political interests as various economic data and definitions do

I find nothing in this page is about political definitions. Politicians like to conflate and mix things up since laymen have all sorts of ideas about economics, mostly because they understand so little of it.

What economic definitions are political?

BTW, I've done grad work in math, physics, and computer science, have degrees in all three, PhD math, and have taught graduate level mathematical economics. I went to grad school to do superstring theory, ended up doing algebraic geometry, but have still done all three professionally since (with publications in each). So I do have some decent understanding of hard science and econ. I find econ to be vastly closer to hard science than the pop beliefs and the ones above.

There's a reason phd econ programs recruit math majors, not econ majors. It takes some high level math aptitude and tooling these days.

> As an outsider there is so much orthodoxy to economics

Then read more. Pretty much everything defensible under the sun is open season to analyze in econ, overlapping lots of fields to address problems. I think no modern academic discipline is very orthodox when you get into it, because everyone is trying to make a name for themselves, and you don't get that without breaking current ideas. Econ is definitley a field where everyone is trying to break anything previous, which is also how it got good (again, despite pop nonsense).

If you measure physics by how well the weather is predicted for a month ahead, you'll claim physics is crap. Similarly, if you follow pop nonsense about "econ" you will miss the power of actual economics, which, like physics, will take you a decade of reading and improving to get to a deep understanding.
Thats a distinction that only exists in German laws. And therefore in German language. That is not a distinction in other languages.
> For the former, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act [1] protects the creation of majority-minority districts, which are districts with a majority of a racial or linguistic minority population.

It's not clear what this even means.

Suppose you have an area where you have to draw three districts. 20% of the population is black, 20% speaks Spanish, 20% speaks Mandarin and 20% speaks French. You could give any of these populations a majority-minority district but not all of them, so how could they each have a right to it?

Suppose you have the same area but no one speaks French and the remaining 40% of the population is white. Now you could create three majority-minority districts and leave zero representation for the remaining population that by the numbers should have at least one representative. Is that outcome legally required?

The problem with gerrymandering is there is no "correct" way to draw districts, there are only ways that give one party or the other more seats. Minority populations more often vote for Democrats so Democrats label any map that gives them fewer seats as racist. The only thing either party actually cares about is getting more seats.
I have a Model 3 2018 and have no need to get another EV. My wife and I intend to keep the car for 10 years before we decide to get another. With the software updates, the car always feels "current" and I don't personally feel that we're missing something by not getting a more modern version.

Also the newer versions don't have homelink (garage opening hardware), sonar sensors for parking and front radar from my understanding. It's all vision-based or you have to pay a separate subscription for the garage opening integration with MyQ.

I buy things from there too because of the return policy. I went through a few car chargers (EVCE) from Amazon, they all went bad. After that experience, I found one from Costco with the assumption I could use the return policy if it inevitably went bad. Actually, it's still working, haven't had to return it yet. In fact, thinking about it, maybe Costco screens products for quality BECAUSE of the return policy.

> There's no way you're getting a machine for $40/month. :-)

Oh you can!

I've got several dedicated servers at OVH. My absolute cheapest one is an "ECO" / Kimsufi (Kimsufi is a company which spun out of OVH then, a few years later, back into OVH) which I pay... 5 EUR / month. 6 EUR / month with VAT (so 6.5 USD per month).

Sure, it's not beefy at that price: an Atom N2800 with 4 GB or RAM but it is a dedicated server with its own IPv4 IP (yup, there can be uses for that).

I mostly use it as a jump host / reverse-ssh-with-a-known-fixed-IP thinggy.

They've got great dedicated servers at very good price and they're not the only ones in that space.

These can be rebooted/reinstalled remotely and they're monitored: OVH shall deal with hardware failure, if any, for you (never had any so far).

I think journalism took a nosedive when the journalists were allowed to promote their personal beliefs and opinions, instead of reporting facts and providing analysis. Journalists hate this because they feel its their jobs to persuade, not inform. It may sound boring to some but I just want facts and analysis, not personal opinion and persuasion reported as fact.

Yes, media has always done this, but that doesn't make it right and it's gotten worse, and worse.
